Heuchera Black Taffeta

Common Name:
Heuchera 'Black Taffeta'

Description:
Heuchera 'Black Taffeta' is a stunning evergreen perennial featuring deeply ruffled, near-black foliage with a satiny sheen, adding a dramatic touch to shaded garden beds, borders, and pots. In late spring to summer, delicate cream-coloured flower spikes emerge, creating a striking contrast against the dark leaves and attracting bees and butterflies. This hardy plant thrives in well-drained soil and prefers part shade to full shade, though it can tolerate some sun in cooler climates. Drought-tolerant once established and able to handle light frosts, Heuchera 'Black Taffeta' is a low-maintenance choice for Melbourne gardens, providing year-round foliage interest and seasonal floral displays.
